What We Do

The Malaysian government with other local stakeholders, such as the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC) have identified four core thematic areas of concentration for the tech projects supported by UNTIL Malaysia.

Decent Work and Economic Growth - Ethical Fashion and Ecotourism

Sustainable Cities and Communities

The UNTIL Malaysia lab is located in Cyberjaya, just 20 minutes from the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Cyberjaya is Malaysia's global tech hub, and home to over 2300 start-ups, SMEs and tech giants.

To establish strong governance around the activities of UNTIL labs, the UNTIL programme is set to work through the UNTIL Advisory Panels - one for each lab - with the goal to provide strategic guidance to the activities undertaken.

The Panel meets to hear reports on current plans and priorities, and key challenges with regards to policy, partnership and management. The Advisory Panel provides strategic guidance and helps ensure that UNTIL lab remains true to its mission.

Enhancing policy options by providing a set of policy recommendations for strategic budgeting to promote Circular Economy (CE) for SDGs in Malaysia through institutional mechanism establishment and stakeholder engagement based on multi-criteria decision analysis exercise. The project will constitute a circular economy committee to provide technical guidance and ensure project monitoring and implementation.
